Thats a shock

Jason Servis' take - https://www.app.com/story/sports/hor...by/1139284001/ .

He mentions that Maximum Security experienced cuts on his hind two legs from the race (I hope he has pictures or a vet report). What's in question is whether the cuts are a result of contact made by War of Will when he attempted to go around him or were they a result of the subsequent contact when Maximum Security came out.

Class 2 disqualification requirements as a result of interference are as follows:......."

By way of example, I don't think many American bettors would respond favorably to the non-DQ of Golden Horn in the 2015 Irish Champion Stakes: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=t3SzNAeq_rM.

Well what do you know? It seems like there have been other objections in the derby! Including this gem called the "Fighting Finish".

A history for the interested.
